In a parallel universe, the Penguin once teamed up with Joker (Scooby-Doo) to try and locate the hidden fortune of the deceased gangster Bennie Bodog Benson. After narrowing the location to a music hall, they concocted a costume and haunted the theater as the Footlight Phantom to scare off the public. On the night of a performance by Weird Al Yankovic, Mystery Incorporated arrived and became entangled in the mystery of the phantom. When they discovered the phantom was the Joker, the Penguin appeared and helped tie up the gang. Batman (Scooby-Doo) and Robin (Scooby-Doo) later arrived to offer their assistance and stop Joker and Penguin. Bat-Mite was observing this event and gave Batman, Robin, Scooby-Doo, and Shaggy Rogers the ability to fight back and defeat the duo.
